Be Prepared 

Many people talk about trying to find jobs and offer advice. Some of the best advice I’ve ever had and ever given is rarely seen. I have worked at a Workforce center. I have worked helping people, returned to college, and earned a master’s degree in Adult Education and Training. I have been on both sides of hiring and needing hiring. And I have been successful at both. 

Information, like a small piece of gold, could be worth quite a bit. 

The day you write your new resume is the first day of your new job. You do this because you always want to have prospects out there. You always want to know. Where your true value is, and who could most appreciate it. 

You do not have to tell your present boss you have a new resume. You don’t have to say to the boss you are working for now that you have plans if you must find a job. It is not being deceitful; it is just being prepared.  

If you were ever a Boy Scout or a Girl Scout. I am sure you understand the excellent idea of being prepared. 

Tomorrow, we will talk about What the day you get like go feels like. And what you want to do about it.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
